Heroes

I, I wish you could swim like the dolphins

Like dolphins can swim

Though nothing will keep us together

We can beat them forever and ever

Oh, we can be heroes just for one day

I, I will be king and you, you will be queen

Though nothing will drive them away

We can beat them just for one day

We can be us just for one day

I, I can remember standing by the wall

And the guns shot above our heads

And we kissed as though nothing could fall

And the shame was on the other side

Oh we can beat them forever and ever

Then we can be heroes just for one day

And you, you can be mean

And I, I'll drink all the time

'Cause we're lovers and that is a fact

Yes, we're lovers and that is that

Though nothing will keep us together

We could steal time just for one day

We can be heroes forever and ever

What d'you say

I, I will be king and you, you will be queen

Though nothing will drive them away

We can be heroes just for one day

We can be us just for one day

We can be heroes, we can be heroes

We can be heroes just for one day

We can be heroes

We're nothing and nothing will help us

Maybe we're lying

Then you better not stay

But we could be safer just for one day
